I think a lot of this is confusion between online versus batch compilation? Most of us have only ever seen/used batch compilation. To that end, many people assume that JIT in an interpreter is how online compilation is done.

I probably am more guilty of that than I should be.

I confess I wasn't positive what the correct term would be. "Online" is common for some uses of it. And I "knew" that what we call compilation for most programs used to be called "batch compilation." Searching the term was obnoxious, though, such that I gave up. :(
